when you go to the supermarket, and you know your eating healthy for the week or whatever, what does your shopping list look like. i am trying to make one of my own, but can use some help.
At the beginning of the store where I do most of the shopping, the produce department is first. After I have bought what I want from the produce, the basket is already full. Do any of you experience the same thing? During the course of shopping, have to rearrange everything so things don't get mashed. Do not want to suggest store getting bigger carts; spend enough already.bethzaring said:A good rule of thumb is to concentrate on making your purchases from the items sold from the perimeter walls of the grocery store, where you usually find dairy, produce, meats, breads, in other words, real food. The interior isles will contain the pre-packaged foods and you want to stay away from pre-packaged foods. The exception to this rule is you will find things like oats, dried beans, flour, baking essentials, in the interior isles. Remember, if junk does not make it into your grocery cart, you can not be tempted by it in your house.

THis means I treat my veggies seriously and with care for great texture color and flavor.
